You want to know if it’s reasonable to rent an apartment to hide from your family?

What did you think parenthood involved?

Are you the dad on 6 Feet Under?

This is something more appropriate to post in /r/AmItheAsshole and I can predict what the answer will be.

I dunno. Can your wife also rent an apartment for her to use to escape from you, the kids and the dogs?

There are ways to spend $1,500 a month that would make life more pleasant for the whole family, not just you. A weekend away, membership to a pool, season’s tickets to some sports team, a trip to the nearest major city and a Broadway-quality show. Then your family would be making some memories together that went beyond “my dad hated us so much he hid in an apartment all weekend.”

Lose the dogs though. There’s no purpose to having those filthy creatures in a human home.

I think you meant to post this on r/relationship_advice
